Eilis McDonald, Divider Tumblr

If there’s a beach where the goop from Geocities and nineties marketing campaigns can wash ashore, it might be the tumblr of Dublin-based artist Eilis McDonald. It has a sort of fringe-realm screensaver quality; all that stuff that was always on the peripheral, for whatever reason, fascinates us now as visual motifs. So it would make sense that she keeps a divider collection– all those bizarre GIF text-separators which have become obsolete on newer platforms. And the collection in full view looks like a work of art in and of itself. We’ve reproduced a little of it below, with chunks arranged in the same order the artist has placed them in but you can view Eilis’ full divider collection here.
